Heres a disturbing equation: Anxiety about doing math, plus female
elementary school teachers, equals a drag on math achievement for some
first- and second-grade girls.
Female teachers discomfort with math encourages girls in these early
grades to embrace the stereotype that girls dont deal with numbers as well
as boys, contends a team led by psychologist Sian Beilock of the
University of Chicago. By the end of the school year in each grade, girls
who pick up on that negative typecasting score lower on a math achievement
test, on average, than girls who dont, the researchers report online
January 25 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

But in classes with female teachers who demonstrated anxiety about math,
girls became more likely to endorse math stereotypes as the school year
progressed and displayed a small but statistically significant lag in math
achievement relative to their peers.
This is a concern, because if these girls keep getting math-anxious female
teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math
achievement, says University of Chicago psychologist and study coauthor
Susan Levine.
Women make up more than 90 percent of U.S. elementary school teachers,
Levine notes, and research has shown that girls are more likely to model
their behavior after adult females rather than males. Earlier surveys have
also reported that, among college students, students pursuing majors in
elementary education describe the highest levels of anxiety and worry at
the prospect of doing math.
